Chapter 298: (Bloody Battle II)

'Poof...'

"Dog thief, go die..."

"Lao Zhang, hack him to death..."

Su Mao led 25,000 foot soldiers towards Li Yanqing's army formation, and the former army commander Zhang Xiong led the big shield to fill the vacant positions of the battle dead, while he himself bent his bow and arrows and shot those rushing Red Mei troops.

"Throw..."

As soon as the order was given, the Chinese army gunmen threw the javelins in their hands one after another, killing and injuring countless people in an instant, making the Red Eyebrow Army begin to have a difficult phenomenon.

Su Mao frowned, the first thing he thought about was to release the arrows, but the arrows had already been used up in the first wave of arrow rain, and the archers under his command had all drawn their swords to fight, and what they had to do now was to attack hard.

Zhang Bu on the high slope frowned, he could see the battlefield situation clearly, don't look at the number of foot soldiers under Su Mao's command now, but at a glance at the high place, it can be seen that the Red Mei Army has been defeated, more than 20,000 people were blocked by thousands of people on the front line, and most of the people who fell were people from their own side, and the fallen soldiers were not proportional to their own side.

"Shoot the arrows..."

"Quick, go up." Zhang Xiong shouted, the first line of defense was broken by the Red Mei Army, and then ordered the crossbowmen to release arrows to suppress the enemy, and then ordered the reserve personnel to make up for it.

"Kill them all..."

After the defense line was filled, the Red Eyebrow Army, which was full of energy, was now exhausted, and Li Yanqing could see clearly from the highest position of the Chinese army, and immediately ordered the front army to launch a general attack.

"Attack..."

"Phew..."

As soon as the attack was ordered, the soldiers of the second line of defense of the front army stepped forward one after another, and together with the soldiers of the first line of defense, raised the big shield, and under the cover of the big shield hand, the pikemen poked and killed the enemy while marching, which made the Red Mei army feel very confused and fled backwards.

"Whoever dares to take a step back will be killed..."

After Su Mao took the long knife in his hand and slashed more than a dozen retreating Red Mei soldiers, those people were so frightened that they could only kill the Cheng Dynasty army in front of them.

The first wave of fighting lasted for two full hours, and less than 5,000 of Su Mao's 30,000 cavalry were now left to withdraw from the battlefield, including Su Mao himself, who was also wounded by arrows.

The advantage of this battle Xiaowu camp lies in the shield of the big shield hand, the rectangular big shield net weight is fifteen catties, plus the fine iron sheet covered on the surface, weighing about twenty-five catties, each big shield hand is burly, the strength is very large, it is precisely because of the existence of the big shield, so that those who hold a wooden round shield or a little shield of the red eyebrow army, it is simply fighting with a group of opponents with a moving city wall, but the fact is that they are not the opponent of the other party at all, and the spear is not as long as the opponent, and most of them are wooden spears, Cut off directly under the opponent's Yanling knife.

It was precisely because of this that most of the Su Mao troops were killed and wounded, and only about 5,000 people were left to evacuate.

"Return..."

After killing the last wounded, the sergeants of the Xiaowu Battalion who heard the order retreated one after another, returned to the previous defensive line again, and stood still after placing their shields, waiting for the next wave of the Red Eyebrow Army's impact.

"Phew..."

Zhang Bu was in the mood to kill Su Mao at this moment, and the 25,000 foot soldiers and 5,000 cavalry under his command were actually wiped out by the entire army killed by 20,000 foot soldiers, so it seems that the combat effectiveness of the Red Mei Army is really not very good.

"King, what should you do in front of you? Is it to send soldiers to participate in the battle..."Chongyi was beside Zhang Bu, looking at the battle situation in the distance, he himself beat a drum in his heart, and it was unknown whether he could break through the opponent's military formation if he changed to his own soldiers.

"General, our army has won a complete victory..."Zhang Xiong excitedly rode to Li Yanqing's side to report the battle situation.

"What about the casualties?"

Li Yanqing is most concerned about how many capable soldiers there are now, because now the opponent will definitely attack them to the death.

"The front army battalion suffered nearly 4,000 casualties, but our army should have killed more than 20,000 enemy troops."

"General Zhang, go back to your front army, I believe that Zhang Bu will launch an attack later." Li Yanqing didn't dare to be careless at all, which was also the reason why he was able to grow rapidly in Yan Kingdom, and whenever there was a war, he must think about it carefully.

"Report..."A Red Eyebrow Army scout rode to Zhang Bu's side and said: "King Qiqi, the army led by General Xuanwu has arrived, and it is only five miles away from the enemy army. ”

"Okay..."Zhang Bu clapped his hands vigorously: "Tell Zhang Lan to order him to immediately lead the army to attack the enemy's right flank, and he must break through their defensive line..."

"No..."

......

"Report..."A junior colonel ran to Li Yanqing's position in the middle of the army, clenched his fists and said: "General, a large number of red-eyed troops have appeared on the right flank of our army, and they are marching towards our army, and they may attack at any time. ”

"Tell Han Xiao to stop the enemy no matter what..."

"No..."

The main general of the right wing defense line is Han Xiao, the left wing general of the Xiaowu Battalion, this person is a person from Xingyang, a member of the Shangguan family, and his father's generation is a subordinate of Shangguan Yiyun, subordinate to Huang Botao, because of his bravery, at the beginning of the establishment of the Xiaowu Battalion, he was a hundred households, and was promoted all the way to the positions of deputy thousand households, thousands of households, etc., and finally became the left wing general of the Xiaowu Battalion, commanding the left wing troops of the Xiaowu Battalion.

At this time, Han Xiao also felt numb when he learned that there was a Red Eyebrow Army coming towards him, after all, there were only 3,000 people on his side, and the number of opponents was more than 30,000, even if he could fight again, he would not be able to withstand the opponent's attack.

"Newspaper... General Han, the general has an order, and I want you to hold the right flank defense line of our army no matter what..."

"Go back and report to the generals, Ben will definitely stop them..."

......

When Zhang Lan led the army to the battlefield, it was already close to dusk, and at the suggestion of the general, he was ready to launch an attack first, and first look at the strength of the opponent: "Zhang Kun, you take your troops to launch an attack and see how strong the opponent is..."

"No..."

......

"Royal..."

Zhang Lan's army had just arrived, and the first step to do was to serve with bows and arrows, again, to no avail, the general Zhang Kun led 3,000 men to rush towards Han Xiao's right flank defense line.

"Kill..."

What Zhang Lan didn't expect was that Zhang Kun's subordinates all died outside Han Xiao's defense line, and he himself was beheaded by Han Xiao, and all 3,000 people were wiped out.

"General, General Zhang's entire army has been wiped out..."

Zhang Lan gasped, the opponent was not ordinarily powerful, and he was even worried about whether the news given to him by his eldest brother Zhang Bu was accurate or not: "Pass the order, Mingjin will withdraw his troops, and attack again at the beginning of tomorrow, and strive to take down the enemy army in front of him tomorrow..."

"No."

"Report..."The herald came to Zhang Bujun again: "King Qiyu, General Wei's 3,000-strong army was annihilated in front of the enemy's right flank, and the general sent a small one to deliver a message, saying that the army is lacking, and after resting tonight, we will launch an attack at the beginning of tomorrow..."

"Order, Mingjin withdraws his troops..."Zhang Bu looked at Su Mao, who was retreating, and shook his head, if he wants to take down the opponent today, it is basically impossible.
